How to Use Assignee Without Leaving Home Row

Minimal movement = maximal speed.

With Assignee, you can create a full keyboard workflow using only home row keys.


Suggested Layout

  • Ctrl + Tab, A → Slack
  • Ctrl + Tab, S → Terminal
  • Ctrl + Tab, D → VSCode
  • Ctrl + Tab, F → Browser
  • Ctrl + Tab, G → Notion
  • Ctrl + Tab, H → Calendar

Your fingers never leave ASDFGH. It’s like Vim for your apps.


Bonus: Left- vs Right-Hand Layers

Assign communication tools to left hand, deep work tools to right.


Final Thought

Your muscle memory is faster than your mouse. Map Assignee to the home row, and your hands will do the thinking for you.
